Explore salt marshes on an 88-acre wetland preserve with The Earnst Marine Conservation Center and its summer programs. In the Salt Marsh Explorers program, campers are given a nature journal for their expedition through the creek, where they will identify and record the creatures they come upon. Campers will learn to use their resources and even find out how to make a flute out of Japanese knotweed! Another program, Salt Marsh Detectives, has campers searching the marsh and then bringing back "evidence" to the lab to study.
